How much longer do you think humanity has left before dying out?

Nothing lasts forever. With the way the population is expanding rapidly some population control is bound to happen sooner or later, whether by government enforced programs, mass slaughter, or global natural disasters. No matter what, we're all dead. Eventually all things come to an end and that means humanity is going to go as well. How long do you think we have left as a race?

Hopefully not before we invent hoverboards.

I give us 2 weeks :P

I think The Justice League Movie will sufficely signal the end

I say millions of years. Mostly because of Ray Kurzweil and his theory of singularity.

They have as long as I allow.

No matter what happens, humans just seem to endure. Wars that kill countless people, no big deal. Diseases popup with no cure, so what.

I agree I watched an episode of Jersey Shore and I'm still alive, if that's not a case of human endurance I don't know what is.

1000 years, tops.

Like 400 years?We'll probably annihilate ourselves.

50 years.

When Michael Bay's Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles comes out.

billions, people get smarter everyday (some at least) soon we will see just how stupid wars are.

10.

Cant say how long this race has left. One thing is for certain though. The Earth will breathe a sigh of relief once we're gone.

Yeah, that's worked out SO well thus far.

My money's on it ending within the next 2-400 years or so. Preferably after I'm dead.

Exactly, I hope that one day our world becomes something like the future of Earth in Superman: Red Son.

Over 9,000 years.

Depends imo aslong as even after WW3 there will be people on this world that care about their fellow man & do the right thing till our Sun dries up, but probably by then if Earth isnt destroyed we will have the tech to leave & populate a new world.

Quite a while.

Either one of the following

1000 years maximum due to war.

5000 years maximum if we don't kill each-other but kill the planet.

If we survive more than 5k years we will not be the human race anymore, we will have evolved to be a different more tolerant species that is capable of so much more.

Two years.

Millions of years. The dinosaurs were nowhere near as dominant as us humans are on Earth, and look how long they lasted.

no way.. we're not going down that easy.. the number of years is.. NO WAY!.....

Dinosaurs however, did not have thermonuclear weapons that cause fatal levels of radiation pointed at their fellow dinosaurs.

true, i guess as long as we can keep from destroying each other we should last pretty indefinitely

December 21, 2012 Oh wait that day has already pass:D

I presume you are talking about how long are we going to survive and presume that we are going to be wiped out some way?

Eventually humans will not exist not in our current form anyway,we will eventually evolve again.And when I say eventually I really do mean eventually.

@Setherial:

There are 7 Billion of us....

1 Billion Cattle....

and an asteroid on its way on the 15th.

I can't say..we're not exactly like any other form of life that has hit this planet, we're (on average) smarter that that.

348 years, 4 months, 1 week, 09 hrs.

2015 guys. Just a little more wait.

Has anyone else heard of this?

@Setherial: If nothing lasts forever, than it just has to become something else in order to last longer!

This thread is just all sunshine and lollipops.

I had a dream about that last night!

I didn't hit us, but it was so close that looking at it moving across the sky, looked as big as the moon (full moon).

I think it's just a case whether or not we destroy each other through some sort of technological means as opposed to any natural extinction event, it seem a bit too much like hard work to allow evolution to take a further step that we may leave behind our somewhat more basic and destructive elements that are wired within our nature.

lol you're not being serious are you? Just because you had a dream about an asteroid doesn't it is related to this or that it is going to reflect future events.
